Anything no one else wants to take ownership of.

My experience of reggies is they (until reaching Jossman) know very little about their job. Not a dig, but you get these thickos on board in all their Hi Viz shit thinking they are actually coppers and they cannot answer basic questions about reggying. Really embarrassing I think. You start asking AFA bits and as Coxswainrs we feel that they haven't even seen the JSP. Their stock answer is call the desk MAA. All very well but aren't you meant to be the SME's? Glad you feel you can send us to sea after a two week coffee course to do your job for you.

On the flip side there were some very knowledgable Master at Arms who actually knew their shit and weren't dolled up in stab vests etc.

Left Faslane going South had a few woke up on a sweeper in Rosyth, it was about the same size and construction as a cheap Ikea wardrobe, fcuk going to sea on that, stayed a couple of days, run ashore in Queensferry, played football for them, good lot, didnt see anyone being shunned so I assumed no reggie on board. Whats a section base in old money.

I think that's a damage control party, probably wrong though.

Best job for a reggie.................cox'n of a splash target.

You filthy bastard, can't a bloke do cook without you jumping his bones. Fuckin perverts in this mans navy drove the likes of me out, couldn't stand the morality, too fuckin much of it,.. I mean not enough of it, with depravity all about. At least now you only have to worry about the odd shirt lifter and only good lookin bastards like me would have to worry.

Thought it may be, but I did a bit of damage control stuff and cant remember any crushers taking part, maybe they didnt let on who they were so the others would talk to them.
